Audrey Hepburn’s Personal Belongings Are Up for Auction

Audrey Hepburn is considered a fashion icon and Hollywood legend, known for her critically acclaimed role as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, as the endearing Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, and for her Academy Award-winning performance in Roman Holiday.
